Shave your eyebrows for someone who needs them?
Never have *** so you don’t spread disease?
Give all of your clothes away to someone needy?
Trash your best friend to save your life?
Dedicate your life to the Lord?
Give away your kidney?
Cut down the last tree in the world to stay warm awhile?
These questions take time to answer…
But you’ll never know the real answer.
Until the time comes when your character is tested.
How do you know you’ll shave your eyebrows??
You really won’t EVER have *** again?
You would give up thousands of dollars of clothes to a stranger?
Just so you could live, you would put a knife in your friend’s heart?
(Figuratively speaking of course…)
Your whole life solely for a man who may or may not exist?
You’d have yourself cut open to give away a part of YOU?
How do you know you’ll live after cutting down the last tree?
I just put doubt in your mind.
I’m not questioning intentions or trying to make you cry…
I’m just double checking.
We don’t know what we’ll do to save someone else until that time comes.
Think about your answers to the questions…
Are you sure?
Do you want to change them?
Think again…
